Yeah, I noticed that they were bouncing around quite a bit and stating some facts, but also drawing some wild conclusions from those facts. (It's a lost cause trying to separate those two trains of thought, me thinks.)
Viruses mutate with almost every division. Hell, almost every strand of DNA that divides has mutations. It's a natural phenomenon and not exclusively caused by one particular thing or situation.

You seem to be mixing up a few key aspects of how and why new strains are formed, and somehow, you are overestimating the transmissibility of a virus between different animals.
It's like you understand some of the key concepts of this stuff, but animal domestication somehow got mixed in as a root cause for natural processes.
Your compassion for animals is awesome but your information about how and why viruses mutate and spread seems very flawed.
Yes, viruses may spread faster through animals in captivity which could lead to higher rates of virus mutations. But no, it's not the cause of every pandemic you have ever heard about. Pinning the cause on one specific behavior is beyond false.
The black death, specifically, was likely transmitted to humans via fleas from rats, as an example. What's key, is that nobody has even been able to prove that completely.
What kind of eggs do you eat? There shouldn't be many layers to an egg. If we were talking about onions or parfet's or ogres, those could have many layers.
It depends not only on what you want to control, but also how you want to control it.
I'll use a fader/slider for when I am recording MIDI and need to return the fader back to very specific spot quickly, or, if I want to "play" something like the cutoff freq on a filter. I can just smack the slider back and forth quickly like I am strumming a guitar.
I'll usually map knobs when I need very fine controls. If you don't need to min/max whatever setting you are working with, you put the knob about where it should be and only work a few degrees of rotation. (Rapidly min/max'ing a knob sucks since we typically do not rotate our wrist to mix/max quickly.)
It depends on what kind of IC you need. If you need an authentic part that has been tracked and verified through every step of distribution, you pay a premium.
For hobby products, sure. Spend 30 cents on that 5 dollar part.
However, a bad batch of fake ICs could potentially cost a company millions of dollars in returns, or worst case, liability lawsuits. (It has personally only cost me a few bucks and some wasted time.)
My personal trust in any Chinese sourced electronics is zero. It's less than zero if I attempt to buy a proper name brand IC. I ain't salty about it since I know my odds of getting defective or improperly labeled (or relabeled) parts: Expect about a 30% failure rate or parts that are way out of spec.
Simply put, QA is generally poor and the supply chain is sketchy. If that doesn't matter to you, so be it.
What happens is it chips do come from the same Chinese manufacturer, you can get spectacularly different grades of parts depending on how you bought them.
I think the context was "infant" or "baby" matched with "dark hair" and "blue eyes".
That is bizarre and difficult to prove. Does he have your phone number? IMEA number? The problem is that it takes some skill to use those devices and random use without a warrant is illegal.
If you really feel this is going on, the FCC would be very interested to hear about your issues with illegal use of a transmitter. (1-888-CALL-FCC)
Blocking one upload takes more than just incepting cell communications, so again, this is a weird scenario.
I just checked and behemoths can't reach it to make significant damage. It seems like overkill, but I have repeating blocks of three guns, four laser turrets and 4 flame throwers. Each set of guns is fed with a requestor chest for ammo and each subsection is in range of my bots for repair. Just the wall itself is 6 tiles deep, 2 tiles deep for a plain wall and 4 for "standoffs". It's been impenetrable so far.
My walls are biter-proof unless they are supposed to evolve any more and could probably create an attacks per minute metric. The double-cross pattern that I am almost finished implementing for the outer wall seems to break their logic enough to minimize damage and gives the flame throwers more time to work.
Honestly, I just ignore pollution and all of the attacks. I just assumed I was eventually supposed to be fully enclosed by biter nests.
The auto-names for train stations are awesome.
It's not an attack. You simply don't stick with any point long enough to have a proper discussion.
